La Vita Nuova

in that book which is
my memory...
on the first page
that is the chapter when
i first met you
appear the words...
here begins a new life
-dante alighieri

i had this poem on the first post about kristin and jeff's wedding. and then for some reason i deleted it. not sure why. then today i was putting together their slideshow and went to itunes to hear one of the songs kristin had suggested for the show and was pleasantly surprised.... i knew the song and really liked it, i just didn't know the name of it. and as i listened to it again and again i realized that it was basically a modern day spin on the poem i had deleted. and so i thought that the poem and the song should have a post together. you can have a peek and a listen for yourself, over here on their slideshow.

*the song is "first day of my life" by bright eyes.

This is one of my all time favorite songs. Love the poem as well! Funny how much they really are saying the same thing. This slideshow is beautiful! My favorite image is of them in the upstairs window. Stunning!
